VERY interested in the Alternity Primes and Thundercracker if you are going to do a group buy for them

Yeah I only have 2 days to respond and there's no description to help.
I think I'm going to get 1 box each of the GTRs and if there's 2 more people interested in Thundercracker then I'll place an order for that as well.

Who are these guys? Have you ordered from them before as I wouldn't mind a Thundercracker.

Thank you

I am in for an MP Cracker then if a spot is available.

I can live with the blue flames on wildrider but I think a new head sculpt would of been better for the character. If this does well they'll more than likely repaint mirage in to drag strip and sideswipe into breakdown.

Retooling is cost-prohibitive for such limited runs. OTFCC exclusives are retooled but they're also made in substantially larger production runs compared to other exclusives.

I don't mind them being not retooled if they're limited exclusives, but if they're going to do them as standard releases then I would prefer them to have new heads. They could get away with doing a straight repaint of Sunstreaker as Dead End (re: Binaltech). ;p

They should at least remove and change the rear spoiler to make it more wildrider

Again, modifying the mould costs money. It's usually not worth it when making very small limited production runs. With the exception of OTFCC all limited exclusive toys are unmodified repaints anyway, e.g.: BotCon USA (pre-OTFCC), BotCon Japan, BotCon UK, JafCon, Wonder Fes, e-Hobby, TV Magazine, Terebi-kun, Dengeki Hobby, SDCC et al.
